No. The stick is damn near straight. Not a sign of good handling.

Thanks Shawn. Good eyes. I've done some research but I still don't know if it's a good bow or not.

The photo angle is from slightly below, which may give the appearance that the bow is not as bowed as it should be. Best way to know if it is a good buy for you, is to try it and find out. Trying, does not mean buying.

Looks like a typical German-made factory bow. These are usually a little on the heavy side. Some are quite good and worth the money providing there aren't too many repair issues. Give it a spin and go from there.
